FBI Cover-Up on Inaction on Foley Emails - FBI Lied to Reporters
<snip>
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) wrote to the
Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General's (I.G.) office today to ask for an investigation into why the Federal Bureau of Investigation (
FBI) has fabricated and disseminated a cover-up story as to why it never investigated the Foley emails sent to it by CREW.

CBS News has reported that according to the FBI when CREW gave the Bureau the original set of emails from Rep. Mark Foley (news, bio, voting record) to a former House page, they were "heavily redacted." -->

2. May I ask a common sense question?
Why THE HELL would CREW even bother turning over the e-mails if they had been so heavily redacted? If they were redacted, why couldn't the FBI get back to CREW and ask them for un-redacted versions?

4. The FBI is lying
Melanie Sloan, CREW’s executive director said today, “the FBI cannot have it both ways; either it failed to investigate the Foley emails because they did not rise to a level of criminal activity or because it did not have adequate information to do so. Pick one.

“Attorney General Gonzales has told the public repeatedly that the investigation and prosecution of those who sexually exploit children is a top priority. We are outraged that the FBI failed to investigate Rep. Foley and is now blaming others for its inaction".

6. The FBI is just the new Gestapo.
Whatever our dear fuehrer Bush says the Gestapo does. Of course Gonzo was the one who communicated the fuehrer's wishes to Not investigate the molestation of the teen-aged boys. Dear fuehrer may not like child molesters, but he is willing to put up with them if they further his control.
